Today's vehicles have more computing power on them than the Apollo spacecraft that took us to the moon. With computer programs, sometimes errors or "bugs" are identified that require a software update. Many older automotive computers stored these programs on a replaceable chip, but newer units have chips that are re-programmable and do not require replacement when the programs are updated. The process of updating these computers is called "flashing" or "re-flashing".

Today’s vehicles are technological marvels.  Engines, Transmissions, Braking Systems, Cruise Controls, Lighting Systems, Entertainment Systems and Navigation Systems are all run by various computers on the vehicle – and those computers all run software programs to control all these systems and components.  Just like your home or office computer, sometimes the OE releases software updates that address “engineered-in” problems on the vehicle.  There’s nothing more frustrating than to spend valuable time trying to solve a symptom that is the result of a “bug” in the original software version.

Delphi’s Universal Reflash Tool, together with the OE reflash subscription, can help identify needed software updates and apply them, generating additional revenue for you and solving customer problems.  The included Reprogramming Workbench eliminates the need other Reflash tools have for an OE-level scan tool to complete after-flash programming functions.  From beginning to end, Delphi’s system helps assure the proper calibration is selected and applied properly.  Supporting both on and off-vehicle programming and adhering to SAE’s J2534 specification, you can be assured the widest range of vehicle coverage.
